Wow, that is amazing the first box placed in Wisconsin is still alive
& well with all original logs and stamp! I know Mark Pepe has a list
of first boxes placed in each state, but it would be fun to know the
names and ages of the oldest boxes still alive in each state.

In TX, the first box was gone a long time ago (before I started in
2002), so the current oldest box is Lost Pines in Buescher State
Park, placed by Eoghan on 11/04/2000. The clues are not on LBNA and
it takes some sleuthing to find them, especially since I'm not sure
Eoghan still participates.

So how about the rest of you?
